Slightly worried to do this now as it's 9pm and we live in a farmhouse and her very large dog crate is in the kitchen, where the fire is not...would it really be dangerous to wait until the morning?!

No not on the outside but it really is as if there's a cake of poop stopping other poop from being released...for a while she had diharrea and a really very messy bum, so for her to now have the almost opposite (although still messy) is very confusing ! We'll continue to rid of the rest of poo...

I think so, as when she tries to poop the vent opens and there's poo there but just some mucusy liquid comes out but she carries on straining, and the large pink area above her vent pulses in and out. It's night here now so we're gunna have to try again in the morning. Thanks for alll your help!

I was so focused on the fact she might have worms/be prolapsing that I stopped looking at eggbinding treatments...

Thank you for your reply ! We're gunna try that tomorrow. What is best used for the lube? I've seen multiple opinions of people saying yes and no to both vaseline and olive oil.....? At the end of the bath I was picking away with my bare fingers, only way to get the clumps off! But I did stop at...

She hasn't layed no, but we have 7 chickens and I don't think they all lay so she could be one of them. We also don't know the age of the birds so she could have been at end of lay etc. Strangely when letting them out this morn, there was half an egg shell on the floor and it was the first...

Please please please Looking for some more help as I can't contact a vet until Monday and I really can't find anything online that matches all her symptoms. She's now gone the other way, the diharrea has stopped and now she doesn't seem to be able to poop a lot. She strains hard and the area...

@Eggcessive sorry to tag you as I'm sure you get asked questions all the time...but your knowledge is so helpful. Any chance you can take a look and have any ideas?

Just thought, could the egg shell have come from her? It was about half a shell, no egg although they could've got at it before I did. It was hard shell with the inside membrane

I feel awful for not contacting vet before but I haven't had the time til now and now it's the weekend,

Perfect I'll try the carrot soup later today after she's bathed and settled. Really sadly she's now got blood coming from her vent, and when I let them out this morning she was rasping slightly through the nostrils. Our friend is coming over next 2 days to collect poop. She was eating and...

She's mainly doing this when standing now, although was quite happy eating sunflower seeds thrown around as a treat, and still is fine to clean herself! I'm now thinking it is something internal as can't feel any lumps or bumps, except the mass above her vent. Can't make her a warm isolated...

Oh and I did think possible vent gleet!?! The area above her vent is still kind of pink, wide and protruding - I'll try get a photo later. I am so worried about my gal :( I also don't think vets are taking birds atm because of the flu, although from my own and reading others' experience, they're...

Thank you so much for your reply!!! Here's some pics of Lacey this morning, bless her. I see what you mean about the egg binding, think I'm so worried about her that I'm trying to research every possible illness that involves her symptoms! I managed to feel her belly just now and it feels...

Please is anyone able to help ??? She's still eating and drinking fine, but some watery poop and most poo gets stuck all over her butt. She does now have an enlarged mass ABOVE her vent and after she poops the vent contracts in and out, we've had trouble getting hold of Epsom salts but hopefully...

Also if anyone knows the age of which this breed usually lives for, that could be useful to know! Thank you :)

Hi all, One of our hens has been a bit droopy over last 2 weeks or so. She'll go back into the coop once let out and lay down, either for just a minute or a few but confusingly she generally seems fine in the day/is eating and drinking normally. She does also have quite a messy bum which we've...

Thank you so much 🙏 and thanks for your advice, I know it will all help in the future! Now she's at peace under an oak tree. 🌳
